If you want to cause a recalculate every second or so - but then excel
basically becomes a clock.

Look at Chip Pearson's page on Application.Ontime

That looks pretty good, but is there anyway for the
seconds to continue to countdown while one is viewing the
page?

Put the future date/time in cell A1
in Cell B1 put in

=TEXT( A1-NOW(),"[hh]:mm:ss")

This will give you the difference in hours, minutes and
seconds. It will
adjust each time there is a calculation.

=TEXT( A1-NOW(),"[mm]:ss")

This gives minutes and seconds.

Is there anyway to have a cell with a running countdown
from one date to another. For example, the number of
seconds left or the number of minutes and seconds from
today's date and just say a year from now.

Thanks in advance,
